[quote=Anonymous]I don’t know if this will make you feel better or worse, but if you’re not insulin resistant, these GLP agonists don’t alter your metabolism, they just kill your appetite. So if you’re eating only 1200 calories a day, Ozempic would not do much for you other than to reduce your hunger a bit, maybe help you eat even fewer calories — which isn’t a good thing; 1200 is as low as you should go.

I speak from experience here: I was only five pounds heavier (and a couple of inches taller) than you when I tried Mounjaro last yeae( (which trials showed to be even more effective than Ozempic for weight loss). It killed my pleasure in food for a few days after each injection. I lost maybe four pounds total. It wasn’t worth it though — I like enjoying the food I do eat.

What did work for me was lifting heavy three times a week, and following Megan Ramos’s therapeutic fasting regimen (2-3 times a week for 24-36 hours).  I did NOT calorie restrict at all on eating days.

I was also wanting to build a fasting habit for the possible anti-aging and anti-cancer benefits. Without those motivations I’d have found it much harder to do. If you just want to change your shape, cut out grain and starch for a couple of months and start deadlifting, barbell back squatting, and doing step ups with dumbbells. If you’ve never tried that before, you WILL look transformed by the new year.[/quote]
